so, you don't live in north carolina or arkansas or virginia and you don't own any slaves but you're connected to the institution and you know it in a number of ways. there was structural ways, kinships, your family doesn't own slaves but great uncle hal does. the process of slave hiring or slave renting you can't own a slave but you need help this year, you can rent one from your slave-holding neighbor for far less than you can hire any other kind of labor ask that well help grew in crunch time, harvest and planting. you're no fool. you know the wealth of your region is dependent on this anymorously valuable source of property. so there are structural ways in which white southerners are connected and they're not dumb. they know it. the real connections go down to a gut level. if you are white southern man and you don't own slaves, you still enjoy a certain position in society, and you live in a society that really values equality, really values the idea that you and i are just as good as one another. we also grew up in an age of grow growing inequality, and a age of high mobile. peo
